Configuration 12

Enabling telnet and HTTP services On HP ProLiant ML110 G5 Servers, HTTP and telnet are enabled after installing the HP ProLiant Lights-Out 100c Remote Management Card.

Updating the firmware To update the LO100 firmware, use the ROMPaq utility. Downloads for the ROMPaq utility are available on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support). For more information about using the ROMPaq utility, refer to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/manage).

NOTE: LO100 does not support ROMPAQ flashing from a virtual floppy.

After the ROMPaq utility flashes the selected device, cycle power manually to reboot the operating system.

Updating the firmware remotely Use the load command to update the LO100 firmware remotely. The firmware file must be an uncompressed firmware image file created using the DOS ROMPAQ utility found on the Lights-Out 100 Firmware Upgrade Diskette Utility, which is available for download from the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/lights-out).

To create an uncompressed image file, enter the following command at the DOS prompt: ROMPAQ /D <infile> <outfile>

where <infile> is the ROMPAQ firmware image file and <outfile> is the file name for the uncompressed binary image file. For example:

ROMPAQ /D cpqq0801.D14 ldrImage.bin

ROMPAQ Firmware Upgrade Utility, Version 5.02 (R)

Copyright (c) Hewlett-Packard Corporation, 1994-2006

Input file: CPQQ0801.D14

Output file: LDRIMAGE.BIN

The load command is used to retrieve a binary image from a specific source location (specified as a URL) and place it at the specified target address.

The load command can download and flash an ldr firmware image file using TFTP from the specified location.

To flash the firmware using TFTP settings on Windows®:

1. Copy the BMC firmware into a directory on the server.

2. Run TFTP by launching the executable file tftpd32.exe.

3. Navigate to TFTP configuration>Settings, and set Timeout to 30 seconds and Max Retransmit to 6.

4. Enter File Name and TFTP Server IP Address. File Name is the path where the BMC firmware is residing. TFTP Server IP Address is the IP address of the TFTP server (for example, 10.141.38.157).

Flashing the firmware using TFTP settings on Linux:

1. Navigate to Applications>Systems Settings>Server Settings>Services and make sure that TFTP and xinetd are running.

Page 13: HP ProLiant Lights-Out 100 Remote Management User Guidecontent.etilize.com/User-Manual/1020446952.pdf · HP ProLiant Lights-Out 100 delivers basic remote control of vital server resources,

Configuration 13

2. Open the /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file and modify the parameter server_args to include -T 15000000. For example, server_args = -c -s /tftpboot -T 15000000.

3. If a firewall is enabled, disable it or modify the settings to allow the firewall to connect to the TFTP port. To change the firewall settings, navigate to Applications>System Settings>Security Level, and enter 69:udp in the parameter of the other port.

To update the firmware, log in to LO100 as the administrator through the CLP interface, and issue the load command to upload and install the firmware from the map1/firmware directory.

1. Start a CLP session. To access CLP:

a. Navigate to Start>All Programs>Accessories>Command Prompt.

b. At the command prompt, enter telnet <IP address>.

2. At the CLP prompt, enter cd map1/firmware.

3. At the CLP prompt, enter load -source <URI> -oemhpfiletype csr

where:

o <URI> is the //<tftp server IP>/<filename> to be downloaded.

o <tftp server IP> is the URL or IP address of the TFTP server containing the firmware.

o <filename> is the file name of the image file (LdrImage.bin in this example).

For example, enter load -source //10.141.38.157/LdrImage.bin - oemhpfiletype csr.

The TFTP application might report an error in the early part of the firmware upload process, during the firmware image validation process. An error does not necessarily indicate failure of the firmware upload and does not prevent successful firmware uploads. A successful firmware upload typically takes several minutes. After the firmware upgrade process is complete, verify that the new version of the firmware is active.

If the firmware upgrade process fails after sufficient time (at least 5 minutes), reboot the server, and verify that the previous version of the firmware is still active. Always reboot the server before retrying the firmware upgrade process.

After installing the firmware, the IP address of the server might reset to the default value. You must locally reset the IP address to the desired address.

NOTE: After using the load command LO100 will reset ending your CLP interface session. You must reconnect to the CLP interface.

NOTE: When you use the CLP load command with TFTPD32, HP recommends using a 30-second timeout and 6 retries.

Flashing previous firmware versions on an HP ProLiant ML110 G5 Server

When an HP Lights-Out 100c Remote Management Card is installed in an HP ProLiant ML110 G5 Server, you can flash the LO100 to an earlier version. In the map1 directory, enter the CLP command oemhp i 20 20 c0 18 00 04 04 e0. This command reactivates the previous version.

Using the SSH utility When using a SSH utility to connect to a server for the first time, the utility prompts you to accept the server public key, sometimes referred to as a host key. Accepting this key authorizes the utility to store a copy of the public key in its own database. The utility recognizes the server when future connections are attempted by comparing the public key to the one stored in its database.

NOTE: Logging in to an SSH session could take up to 90 seconds. Depending on the client used, you might not see on-screen activity during this time.

To access the remote management processor using SSH:

1. Open an SSH window.

2. When prompted, enter the IP address, login name, and password.

Using the PuTTY utility PuTTY 0.54 is a terminal emulation product that includes support for telnet and the SSH protocol. PuTTY 0.54 is available for download from the Internet.

• To start a PuTTY session, double-click the PuTTY icon in the directory in which PuTTY is installed.

• To start a PuTTY session from the command line:

o To start a connection to a server called host, enter: putty.exe [-ssh | -telnet | -rlogin | -raw] [user@]host

o For telnet sessions, you can also enter the following alternative syntax: putty.exe telnet://host[:port]/

o To start an existing saved session called session name, enter: putty.exe -load "session name"

When you press Enter using PuTTY versions earlier than 0.54, two line feeds might appear on a single line feed. To avoid this issue and for best results, HP recommends using version 0.54 or later.

Using LO100 16

Using CLP HP has worked with key industry partners within Distributed Management Task Force, Inc. to define an industry-standard set of commands. The SMASH suite will standardize manageability interfaces for servers. The Lights-Out 100 remote management processor implements the command set defined in the Server Management Command Line Protocol Specification, 1.00 Draft. The CLP replaces the simple CLI that was released previously and is no longer supported.

The management processor functionality accessible from the SMASH CLP is a low-bandwidth interface and provides similar functionality to the web interface. The CLP is designed for users who prefer a nongraphical interface. The CLP is accessible through the following methods:

• Telnet

• SSH connection

• Physical serial port

LO100 CLP supports two simultaneous SSH connections, two SSH connections and one telnet connection, or one SSH connection and two telnet connections. You cannot have more than two simultaneous SSH connections and up to three (telnet and SSH) connections at a time.

CLP syntax The general syntax of CLP command is:

<verb> <target> <option> <property>

• Verbs—The following verbs are supported: o cd

o help

o load

o reset

o set

o show

o start

o stop

o exit

o version

• Target—The default target is the /. The target can be changed by the cd command or by specifying a target on the command line.

• Options—The following options are valid: o -help/-h

o -all/-a

• Properties are the attributes of the target that can be modified.

• Output—The output syntax is text.

The valid Boolean values for any command are true and false.

General notes

Using LO100 17

If the commands on the CLP command span more than one line, you cannot navigate between different lines.

Operating system-specific notes

• The Microsoft® Windows® 2000 telnet client does not support the Functions keys F1 through F12, Insert, Home, and End keys. These keys will not work in a Lights-Out 100 command line session.

• The Backspace key in the Lights-Out 100 CLP implementation is mapped to the value 0x8. Some client operating systems, Novell Linux Desktop and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Desktop, map the Backspace key to the value 0x7f, which is used for the Delete key in the Windows® telnet client. The Backspace key will not work from a client from which it has value of 0x7f. For the Linux clients, using the Home or the End key enables the Lights-Out 100 CLP service to remap the Backspace key to use the value 0x7f, making the key functional.

In the Windows® PuTTY client, the Backspace key can be mapped to a value of 0x8 by changing the setting for Terminal Keyboard to Control-H.

Base commands • The help command displays context-sensitive help.

Entering help displays all the supported commands. Entering <command help/?> displays the help message specific to that command.

o Help for verbs

Calling help for a verb returns the general syntax and usage associated with issuing that verb. Calling help for a verb that is not present in the current directory returns an Unsupported Command message. The following examples are all valid ways to call help for a verb.

— /./-> help show Usage: show [<target>][<options>][<properties>]

— /./-> show -h Usage: show [<target>][<options>][<properties>]

— /./-> show -help Usage: show [<target>][<options>][<properties>]

— /./->

o Help for targets

Calling help for a target returns any information about the target and what it contains. You can call help for any target that is not contained in the current directory (help map1 can be called from system1).

— /./-> system1 -h Invalid command

— /./-> system1 -help Invalid command

— /./-> help system1 Host System Directory

— /./-> help map1 Management Service Processor Directory

Using LO100 18

— /./-> cd system1

— /./system1/-> help map1 Management Service Processor Directory

o Help for properties

Calling help for a property or any other option for which there is no help information returns an Unsupported Command or Invalid command message. For example: /./system1/-> show

/./system1

• The exit command terminates the CLP session.

• The cd command sets the current default target. The context works like a directory path. The root context for the server and the starting point for a CLP system is /. (forward slash period). By changing the context, you can shorten commands.

For example:

Page 19: HP ProLiant Lights-Out 100 Remote Management User Guidecontent.etilize.com/User-Manual/1020446952.pdf · HP ProLiant Lights-Out 100 delivers basic remote control of vital server resources,

Using LO100 19

o The cd command changes the directory.

o The cd .. command moves up the tree one directory.

o The cd myfolder command moves to the myfolder folder assuming myfolder is in the current directory.

To move to a directory not in the current directory, you must enter the full path. The root in the command line is forward slash, period, forward slash (/./).

If you are in the system1 folder and want to move to the map1 folder, issue the command cd /./map1. Neither cd /map1 nor cd map1 works. The filename is not case-sensitive, whereas the command is case-sensitive (cd MaP1 works while CD map1 does not).

• The show command displays values of a property or contents of a collection target. For example: /./> show

/.

Targets

system1

map1

Properties

Verbs

cd

version

exit

show

help

The first line of information returned by the show command is the current context. In the example, / is the current context. Following the context is a list of subtargets (Targets) and properties (Properties) applicable to the current context. The verbs section (Verbs) shows what commands are available in this context.

The show command can also be specified with an explicit or implicit context and a specific property. An explicit context is /map1/firmware and is not dependent on the current context. An implicit context assumes that the context specified is a child of the current context. If the current context is /map1, then a show firmware command displays the /map1/firmware data. If a property is not specified, then all properties are shown.

• The load command moves a binary image from a URL to the map. The load command is used to take a binary image from a specific source location (specified as a URL) and place it at the specified target address. In a remote management processor implementation, the firmware downloads a full image file using TFTP from the specified location and programs flash with the image.

In a remote management processor implementation, /map1/firmware is a valid target.

The load command supports usage only with the following options.

o -source <location>—This option must be specified.

o (h)elp—This option appears on the command line, the command ignores all options and properties except -output (for terse or verbose output). These options are only valid for this command when the -help option is used.

o source <value>—This option specifies the target from which it transfers the binary image. The value specified must be a valid URL. The format is //tftpserverip/path/filename. This

Using LO100 20

option is required in the command line every time the load command is executed unless -help is used. The file must be an uncompressed firmware image file that you create using the DOS ROMPAQ utility found on the Lights-Out 100 Firmware Upgrade Diskette Utility available for download from the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/lights-out).

To create the uncompressed image file, enter the following command from DOS: ROMPAQ /D <infile> <outfile>

where <infile> is the ROMPAQ firmware image file and <outfile> is the filename for the uncompressed binary image file.

The load command returns any status data on the first lines. After the status data appears, one of the following lines of text displays on the next line:

— <URL> transferred to <target address> (if the file is transferred)

— <URL> not transferred (if the file is not transferred)

Example: load -source //192.168.2.1/pub/firmwareimage.bin -oemhpfiletype csr

//192.168.2.1/pub/firmwareimage.bin transferred to /map1/firmware/fullimage

• The reset command causes a target to cycle from enabled to disabled and then back to enabled.

• The set command assigns a specific value to a property or group of properties. The standard syntax for the set command is set property = new value.

The set command is used to change any changeable property. If the current directory does not contain the property you want to change, the target of the property must be specified before entering the property you want to change.

• The start command causes a target to change state to a higher run level.

• The stop command causes a target to change state to a lower run level.

• The version command queries the version of the CLP implementation or other CLP elements. For example: /./map1/-> version Version 1.00 /./map1/-> cd firmware /./map1/firmware/-> version Version 1.00 /./map1/firmware/-> show

/./map1/firmware

Using LO100 24

Controlling server power remotely LO100 enables you to remotely operate the power button of a host server using a web browser or the CLP. LO100 virtual power support enables you to power on, power off, and power cycle the host server. This virtual power support operates independently of the state of the operating system.

Controlling server power from a browser The Virtual Power screen displays current power status, how long the server has been powered on, and the reason for the last server restart. To display the Virtual Power screen, on the main menu navigation bar, click Virtual Power.

To modify Chassis Actions, select a Power Control Option in the Chassis Actions section, and then click Apply.

To identify the server in the rack and illuminate the UID (the LED on the front panel of the server), from the UID list, select the length of time for the UID to illuminate, and then click Identify.

A restore policy controls how the system responds when power is connected to the server. To set a restore policy:

1. Select the Power Restore Policy by choosing one of the following options:

o Always power up—Powers on the server immediately after power is supplied.

o Restore to powered state prior to power loss—Powers on the system if the system was in the powered on state before a loss of power.

o Power pushbutton or command required to power on system—Causes the server to wait for external action before powering on the system.

2. Click Set.

Controlling server power through the CLP 1. Log in to LO100 CLP as described in the "Logging in to LO100 (on page 21)" section.

2. Change to the system1 target by entering cd system1.

3. To power on the server, enter start /system1. For example:

Page 25: HP ProLiant Lights-Out 100 Remote Management User Guidecontent.etilize.com/User-Manual/1020446952.pdf · HP ProLiant Lights-Out 100 delivers basic remote control of vital server resources,

Using LO100 25

/./system1/> start /system1 System1 started.

4. To power off the server, enter stop /system1. For example: /./system1/> stop /system1 System1 stopped.

The -force option can also be used with the stop command. This option forces the implementation to stop the target, ignoring any policy that might cause the implementation to normally not execute the command. In remote management processor implementation, this process is equivalent to a hard power down.

5. To reset the server, enter reset /system1. For example: /./system1/> reset System1 reset.

Monitoring sensors LO100 provides operating system-independent remote monitoring of the current status of major sensors of a target server including system temperature, fans, and voltage. You can view the data for this feature on the Monitoring Sensors Page through a web browser or through the BIOS Setup Utility.

Platform event filtering configuration The PEF Configuration screen enables you to configure LO100 to take selected actions on received or internally generated event messages. These actions include powering down the system, system reset, and triggering the generation of an alert.

If you want to enable PEF functionality you must issue the following commands in the CLP: cd map1 oemhp i 20 10 D0 18 00 12 01 03 D2 oemhp i 20 10 D0 18 00 12 02 3F 95

To configure a PEF for a particular sensor, click the PEF button to the far right of that sensor on the Monitoring Sensors screen. The PEF button adjacent to each sensor opens a PEF Configuration page for that sensor.

The PEF Configuration screen contains two sections: Current PEF Entries and Add PEF Entry. The Current PEF Entries section includes Sensor Type, Sensor Name, PEF Action, and PEF Control information. The Add PEF Entry section enables you set an action.

Initially, no entries are in the Current PEF Entries section because no PEFs are defined. When PEF entries are defined, the PEF Control field is active and allows individual entries to be enabled, disabled, or deleted.

To configure an action (PEF entry) select the desired Event Offsets and PEF Action settings and click Add.

• Event Offsets are trip points (movements across thresholds) that define what type of sensor event triggers an action. The information in the Events Offsets section varies with the type of sensor. Not all options are available for all sensors. You can select any of the available options.

• PEF Action displays the same information for all sensors:

o Sensor Type displays the type of sensor selected.

o Sensor Name displays the name of the sensor.

Using Virtual KVM The Virtual KVM feature of LO100 is a remote graphic console that turns a supported browser into a virtual desktop and provides full control over the display, keyboard, and mouse of the host server. The operating system-independent console supports graphic modes that display remote host server activities, including shutdown and startup operations.

Virtual KVM is an advanced feature available by installing the Lights-Out 100c Remote Management Card. For more information, see the section, "LO100 optional features (on page 6)."

When connecting to the Virtual KVM applet for the first time, the applet reports an error. To clear the error and connect to the Virtual KVM applet, close your browser session, and then reconnect to the Virtual KVM applet.

The Virtual KVM applet is not compatible with standard VNC clients and does not implement standard VNC protocols. You must use the supplied Java™ applet to connect to the server. The Virtual KVM applet cannot pass the F10 key sequence to the target system. To work around this issue, use the virtual keyboard on the remote server to transmit the F10 key.

• The Mouse tab enables you to set the Mouse mode. Select Mouse to display the Mouse Mode list, which has the following options:

o Hide Mode (Relative) causes the LO100 remote graphic console to choose to change to Relative mode.

Relative mouse mode hides the remote mouse cursor. Use Hide Mode Relative if you are running a DOS-based program and the mouse is not tracking correctly.

o Absolute Mode causes the LO100 remote graphic console to send raw x and y coordinates to the server.

o Relative Mode sends the LO100 remote graphic console relative mouse position coordinates (+/- previous mouse pointer position) to the server. This mode is the default for Linux and Windows®.

• The Keyboard tab enables you to set the language of the virtual keyboard and the type of connection you are using. English is the default language. You can change the language of the virtual keyboard by selecting one of the 12 languages.

The remote side server and local side server (the LO100 remote graphic console) must use the same language for the virtual keyboard to function properly.

• The Logging tab enables you to view log messages in a Java™ console.

Global Logging is disabled by default. If you enable this option, you can view log messages in a Java™ console.

Do not run the console longer than 2 hours. The console uses all available memory and might cause the LO100 remote graphic console and the user web browser to crash. You should periodically clear the event log to prevent a slow connection or possible crash.

To record all log messages to the console from the Logging list, select Console. To check log messages in the Java™ console window from the list on the Tools menu of Internet Explorer menu bar, select Sun Java Console.

LO100. For Microsoft® Windows®, if you do not have a TFTP software package, use TFTPD32.EXE, which is available on the Internet. Linux generally has a TFTP server installed with the operating system. If it is not, see your Linux documentation for more information.

NOTE: When you use the CLP load command with TFTPD32, HP recommends using a 30-second timeout and 6 retries.

NOTE: When using the CLP load command in Linux set the timeout to 15000000. The firewall built into some Linux systems might not allow the TFTP server to send and receive information. You might have to disable the firewall to allow these connections. If you are experiencing firewall issues, change the firewall settings to allow connections on port 69 (the default port for TFTP servers). See your firewall documentation for additional information.

Creating a certificate LO100 requires a 1,024-bit DSA key stored in PEM (Base64-encoded) format to be located on a TFTP server. For example, the following process uses Win32 OpenSSL, downloaded from the Shining Light Productions website (http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html), and the commands issued in a DOS window to generate the certificate. To generate a certificate using Win32 OpenSSL:

1. Download Win32 OpenSSL.

2. Install and set up OpenSSL.

3. Using OpenSSL, generate a DSA parameters file: openssl dsaparam -out server_dsaparam.pem 1024

4. Generate the DSA private key file, called server_privkey.pem: openssl gendsa -out server_privkey.pem server_dsaparam.pem

5. Generate the DSA certificate (public key) file, called server cacert.pem: openssl req -new -x509 -key server_privkey.pem -out server_cacert.pem -days 1095

6. When prompted for a distinguished name, enter an appropriate domain name for the servers that will be receiving the certificate.

7. After creating the certificate, copy it to a TFTP server that is accessible on the same network as LO100.

Before importing a certificate or key, you must disconnect from any remote KVMS sessions. Importing a key or certificate will disconnect your session and reset the LO100 processor. After importing a key or certificate and LO100 confirms a successful upload, you must log back into LO100.
